From everything we've heard so far, the iPhone 8 that Apple plans to debut later this year will be a departure from the status quo. Rumored new features include an OLED panel, edge-to-edge display, under-screen fingerprint sensor, and possibly even wireless charging. Any one of those would be a big undertaking for a phone company. Trying to do all four at once is just asking for problems, and according to new supply-chain rumors, problems are exactly what Apple is getting. Continue reading...

If there's one complaint that just about every iPhone owner on the planet shares, it's that Apple doesn't support expandable memory on its various iPhone models. We hate to break it to you, but that's something that's never going to change. Apple makes killer margins on its higher-capacity iPhone models, and adding a microSD card slot would destroy those margins. Of course, there is a way to fight back. Pick up a Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader, which adds a microSD card slot to any iPhone or iPad. Then you can moved videos, photos, and other files on and off your iPhone's internal storage whenever you want. Here are some highlights from the product page: Easily …

One of the most surprising announcements from the macOS segments at WWDC 2017 was Apple’s commitment to supporting external graphic cards (eGPU) on MacBooks, something that could transform the MacBook Pro into an even more powerful machine, complete with gaming capabilities — VR support would be included. However, we have good news and bad news for anyone looking to use the technology. Continue reading...

Apple isn’t playing around anymore. Augmented reality (AR) is a huge part of the company's vision of the future for the iPhone and iPad (and beyond), and we’re going to see the first results of Apple’s AR implementation later this year when iOS 11 is released and developers launch their AR creations for the iPhone and iPad. However, as exciting as native AR support might sound for the iPhone, you should know that you might have to upgrade your gear to take advantage of it. Continue reading...

Siri may have been the first virtual assistant, but Apple failed to turn it into a leader. Google came out with Google Now and then Google Assistant, and Microsoft followed suit with Cortana. But Amazon dropped in, seemingly out of nowhere, with a voice-based virtual assistant that won the early fight of the voice assistant war. A new report revealed what went on at Apple since it first introduced Siri, and why Apple is now playing catch-up in this particular business. Continue reading...

While the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the OnePlus 5 have been dominating headlines in recent weeks, they aren't the only flagship Android phones on the horizon. Just last week, Motorola announced the Moto Z2 Play, which balances solid, midrange specs and features with a price that will be tempting to consumers who don't want to break the bank upgrading to a new smartphone in 2017. But although the device was expected to serve as the successor to both the Moto Z and Moto Z Play, a new benchmark suggests that the Moto Z2 will be the true flagship of Motorola's 2017 lineup.

Down by three at the half, it really looked like the Cavaliers might give the Warriors a run for their money in Game 2 of the 2017 NBA Finals.

Virtual reality might not have caught on as fast as some companies would have liked, but by now it's abundantly clear that it's not going away any time soon. While companies like HTC, Samsung and Facebook's Oculus fight for your attention with headsets for PC and mobile devices, Sony has swooped in with PlayStation VR and made a serious name for itself among enthusiasts.

Sometimes there’s awesome tech out there that everyone should have, but not everyone does because it’s so expensive. For example, I’d love to drive around in an electric sports car, and yet I don’t have $80,000 to burn on a Tesla. Other times, however, there are great little bits of technology that people don’t have because they don’t know about it, and we’re doing our best to change that in the case of TV bias lighting. These simple gadgets add remote-controlled LED backlighting to any TV, and they’re beyond affordable. You’re TV viewing experience will be improved exponentially by a kit like the EveShine Neon Accent LED Strips Bias Backlight, and there’s even a health b…

The iPhone is a pretty straightforward device. It’s not that difficult to use for most people no matter what age, and you should be able to perform the most basic tasks with relative ease.
